Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonzo Ball has severed ties with a co-founder of Big Baller Brand over concerns that the longtime family friend has a criminal past and also has not adequately accounted for the whereabouts of roughly $1.5 million from Ball’s personal and business accounts.
Ball told ESPN that he believes that Alan Foster, a friend of Lonzo’s father for almost a decade who owns 16.3 percent of Big Baller Brand, had “used his access to my business and personal finances to enrich himself. As a result, I have decided to sever all ties with Alan, effective immediately.”
Lonzo would later erase all mentions of Big Baller Brand from his social media and even covered up his BBB tattoo.

Apparently, Lonzo’s father still wants to carry on with Big Baller Brand despite his son’s objections.
On Wednesday, Facebook Watch released a new trailer for this upcoming season’s “Ball in the Family” and both Lonzo and LaVar get heated when the elder Ball brings up the topic of reviving BBB.
Lonzo: The brand is demolished right now
LaVar: That’s how you feel…
Lonzo That’s how everybody feels.
Lavar: Who’s everybody.
Lonzo: The world.
Seems like Lonzo is finally becoming his own man.
